Diplomatic talks in Oslo feature Trump delegation and Zelensky before US midterms

In Oslo, a Trump envoy arrived at the Grand Hotel followed an hour later by President Zelensky, who then met King Haakon at the Royal Palace.

The diplomatic maneuvering over the Ukraine conflict continued in Oslo on Tuesday. A Trump delegation landed at Gardermoen on a private jet from Miami and proceeded directly to the Grand Hotel. About an hour later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived, also staying at the Grand before heading to the Royal Palace for a meeting with King Haakon. Ukrainian officials say the talks aim to sustain support until the US midterm elections, with a focus on a city in Donetsk.
